On a side note, I have a new kitten that showed up a few weeks ago Now neutered and up to date on shots. Earlier in the summer a new born kitten was found in the neighbors yard. Umbilical cord, sac and wet. Hand raised that one. I now have four cats. So as involved as I am with dogs, I am learning how to be owned by cats. Did I mention I also raised two squirrels in early spring. Two or three days old when found after having a tree cut down. IT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING!!!

HA HA HA!!! Rumpole,No problem doing what he says. I mind VERY well.I always said if I ever had a cat (in the house) it would be a sphinx. But I would never buy a cat. The poodles don't shed. Shedding dogs (and cats) are not (were not) for me. The kennel cats drive me crazy with the shedding but it least it wasn't in the house. I have really really enjoyed the hand raised cat. Now I wear cat hair on my clothes. Ehh life is short, I finally realized a little cat hair never hurt anyone.

I am thinking that little sphinx kitten I always wanted is on the horizon.
